If you’re looking for a TV for your bedroom, you shouldn’t rush into the decision. It’s not just about picking the brand – there are a few things to take into account to ensure that you make the right purchase.
In this article, we run you through the key factors to consider when searching for the right TV for your bedroom.
Where Will You Put It?
There are only so many places in a bedroom that a TV can comfortably fit. You should have determined the location for your TV before you start your search, as this will help you to choose the size that you need. So, consider how big your room is and how it’s laid out as well.
Your TV certainly shouldn’t obstruct you in any way, or prevent access to drawers or wardrobes. Once you know where your TV will be positioned, you will have a good idea of the minimum and maximum size you should be looking for.
Should You Mount Your TV?
The two typical options you will have in terms of how you secure your TV are: resting on a TV stand or mounting it on the wall. If you have a suitable place towards the end of the bed, such as the top of a large chest of drawers, that could be a solution.
Alternatively, you can find a purpose build TV stand for your bed end – these can be retractable units which stow away the TV when not being used. How’s that for a combination of cool and convenient? But if you are trying to economise on space and don’t have suitable furniture to rest it on, mounting your TV on the wall makes sense. But how high should it be mounted?
How High Should You Mount Your TV?
If you are going for the wall mounting option, one important consideration is that the height which is ideal for watching TV from your living room sofa might be different from the height that is right for watching TV from your bed.
In general, your bedroom TV should be higher than a living room screen, meeting with your natural line of sight as you lay in bed. It might take some adjustment in order to find the ideal height, and this can mean somebody helping you to move it as you lay on the bed, or vice versa.
Which Type Of TV Should You Buy?
Once you have specifics such as the size and location of your TV ticked off, it is time to look at the type. The main choice you will have in today’s market is between an LED and OLED TV. OLED is pricier, but as you might expect, offers better picture technology.
You can still enjoy a quality viewing experience from a 4K LED TV, as the picture has great quality as well. OLED can be a great option for your bedroom, or any room of the house, for that matter, because it comes down to the richer colours it produces, which are more realistic and deeper than you can see on 4K LED TVs.
You might also come across QLED TVs, which are superior to LED TVs, but similar to OLEDs in respect to their brightness and suitability for the largest screens. Then there are 3D TVs, which have largely stopped being manufactured, but that offer three-dimensional effect in their display technology. You can browse for cheap 3D TVs here.
Should You ‘Go Smart’?
You may have a smart TV in another room in your house, but are they a good idea for the bedroom? Well, a smart TV does offer a number of advantages for its bedroom audience. Firstly, it is conducive to lazy viewing – you can issue commands using voice assistant and even control other devices throughout your house.
You can also cast your mobile phone, allowing you to watch a YouTube video or an article sourced from your phone on a bigger screen. You’ll also have all the benefits which come with an internet-connected TV, such as the pick of platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Do You Have All The Accessories You Need?
Depending on the other devices you plan to pair with your bedroom TV, if any, you will want to ensure you have all the right accessories, including cables. Among the cables you may need are HDMI leads, which allow you to hook up a cable or satellite TV box. In general, higher-quality cables are better, as they are better able to handle the bandwidth.
To this end, you should also ensure that your TV has enough HDMI ports to facilitate how you want to watch TV. Then there is the option of Bluetooth connectivity which some TVs provide – this will let you listen to your bedroom TV while you are in other parts of the house via Bluetooth headphones.
